Sri Lakshmi Hayagreeva Preuniversity Arts College at Melukote, Karnataka |
|
Status: Started, Project in progress
Project History: HH Sri Parakala Swamy has acquired some years ago a nearly functionally depleted Preuniversity Arts college in Melukote (Thirunarayanapuram) in order to provide continuing education to the youth coming from the town and surrounding area. The College has been renamed "Sri Lakshmi Hayagreeva Arts College". It is currently operating as a Karnataka Government Grant-in-Aid College, with supplementary funds provided by Sri Parakala Matham, Mysore. The college currently has more than 200 students and they are being provided mid day meals, and education free of cost to them. The funds for these purposes are coming from the corpus fund of Sri Parakala Matham. |

Project Needs and Costs: The current cost for providing the above free services to 200 students is about Rs. 2000/day (Rs. 750000/yearly). In US Dollar terms, this kaimkaryam equates to raising about $20000/year. The total Cost of the building is estimated at about Rs. 90 lakh ($200,000). With the generous contributions made by a few donors so far, the construction of the first floor of the planned two-storey building has just commenced. Generous contributions are urgently needed to continue the building project to completion. For more details of the project, current status and photos, see Melukote College page.
